I installed Redhat Linux 7.3 on a server, and I had chosen to install GNOME and KDE as well. I had
also chosen GNOME to be the default desktop.

When the install was complete and the server rebooted, I was brought to the shell prompt instead
of a graphical login screen. After logging in as root, and entering "startx ", the following
message was displayed:

----
Parse warning on line 102 of section Keyboard in file /etc/X11/XF86Config
Ignoring obsolete keyword "LeftAlt ".
Parse error on line 102 of section Keyboard in file /etc/X11/XF86Config
"Meta " is not a valid keyword in this section.
(EE) Problem parsing the config file
(EE) Error from xf86HandleConfigFile()

Fatal server error:
no screens found

When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just
the last messages.
This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log ".
Please report problem to xfree86@(protected)

XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0 " after 0 requests (0 known
processed) with 0 events remaining.
----

I tried to use Xconfigurator. Once inside the program, I hit enter on the "OK " button to proceed.
The program exited with the words "Segmentation fault ", and I was back at the shell prompt.

What is wrong and what can I do? Thanks in advance.
